On April 15, 2015 the Madrid Supreme Court announced its final verdict on the closure of four Coca-Cola factories in Spain and confirmed the previous ruling of the National Court which declared the Coca-Cola Iberian Partners' (CCIP) restructuring plan announced in January 2014 invalid. The restructuring and the closure of 4 plants in Alicante, Fuenlabrada (Madrid), Palma de Mallorca and Colloto (Asturias) affected more than 1190 workers and caused the forced redundancy of 821 employees.

The IUF affiliated Food, Beverages and Catering Union of Germany (NGG) published a resolution about the business strategies of Coca-Cola Erfrischungsgetränke AG (CCE AG) and possible impacts of these strategies on Coca-Cola workers. You can find the resolution in the following languages : English, German and French.

As part of the restructuring plan, that was announced by Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company (CCHBC) in Italy, the company is officially closing the Campogalliano (Modena) site in which 57 employees are working in support of the business unit. In addition, the company announced the layoff of another 249 national employees in the commercial area.

On September 26, 2014 in all the sites of Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company (HBC), there is mobilization against the company's plan that would lead to a reduction of 12 % of the workforce in Italy. The reduction relates to 130 employees in the north, 89 in the central Italy and 60 in the south.

Coca-Cola might be focusing its public relations efforts on improving its health and social image in the eyes of consumers. However, on 5 May the press was more interested in the thousands of Coca-Cola workers who stopped work all over Europe to highlight Coca-Cola’s hypocrisy and condemn its recent formula of job cuts and increasingly precarious, outsourced and forcible “flexible” labour, writes Harald Wiedenhofer.
